"I'll wait for you outside." Dongfang Ye knew that the empress dowager must have something to say to Ah Zhu alone, so he didn't linger any longer. He got up and left.

"Su Qiu, guard the door. Don't let anyone near." The empress dowager said to Su Qiu at the door.

"Yes, Majesty." Su Qiu replied.

"Little girl Zhu, it's not that I want to hide it from you, but I'm unable to tell you that I was foolish at the time.

But now, it's better for you to not be silly anymore. This one can also tell you this secret in its entirety. "

The empress dowager sighed softly, her gaze complex.

The empress dowager then described how she had met Xia Sizhu's grandmother and how her grandmother had died.

How she had lost contact with Xia Sizhu's mother, and how she had found her mother.

Why did he exchange Xia Sizhu's mother for her on the night of her wedding?

And the relationship between the two of them, they explained everything one by one.

Hearing this, Xia Si Zhu was stunned. In that case, with the protection of the empress dowager and the emperor, wouldn't she be able to walk unhindered in the southern mausoleum?

However, the only thing that displeased Xia Sizhu was that the empress dowager and the emperor did not interfere in her affairs with Dongfang Ye.

Woo woo … *

How could she fight Dongfang Ye, who held military power, alone?

"Even the empress dowager doesn't know who my biological father is?" When Xia Sizhu heard the Empress Mother say that she did not know who her biological father was.

"Jade Spirit isn't willing to say it, and I can't force her to say it." The empress dowager's heart ached as she thought of Jade Spirit's bitter child.

"Did my mother leave anything about my father?" Xia Sizhu thought for a moment before asking.

The empress dowager shook her head, a helpless expression on her face.

Xia Sizhu had a faint feeling of loss in her heart. Even if she knew that her father was a scum, she still knew who her father was.

Right now, there was an endless sea of people and no evidence. How could she find her biological father?

Could it be that she would never be able to find out who her father was?

"Your mother didn't leave behind anything about your father, but she left behind a dowry for you. With this dowry, no matter who you marry, you will have the ability to protect yourself and also help your future husband."

The Empress stood up and walked to a corner. She squatted down and pressed a few buttons, causing a brick to be missing from the corner, revealing a hidden pavilion.

Her Majesty took out a locked iron box from the Dark Pavilion and came before Xia Sizhu.

"This is something your mother left you. Your mother said that only your blood could open this box." The empress dowager solemnly handed the box in her hand to Xia Sizhu.

Xia Sizhu carefully received the box, her eyes filled with anticipation and curiosity.

Xia Sizhu carefully examined the metal box and discovered a groove in it. She looked at the empress dowager before carefully placing the box on the table.

Afterwards, he placed his finger in his mouth and bit his own finger. Slowly, he dripped a drop of blood onto the groove of the metal box.

Xia Sizhu held her injured finger as she stared unblinkingly at the metal box, feeling somewhat uneasy.

The empress dowager stared fixedly at the metal box, but nothing happened after a long time.

"Empress Dowager, can my blood really open this iron box? Why is there no reaction? " Xia Sizhu was skeptical. Was it really as godly as the empress dowager had said?

"This is what the Jade Spirit said to This Dowager. This Dowager doesn't know why either. "

The empress dowager was also puzzled. Yu Ling had left this to Xia Sizhu, so she definitely wouldn't lie to her daughter. What was going on?

At this moment, the metal box seemed to have heard Xia Sizhu's words. Pa! The metal box was opened.

"A jade bracelet and a map." Xia Sizhu took out the items in the iron box.

Was this what the empress dowager had said that would allow her to have the power to protect herself, as well as help her future husband?

Why doesn't it look like it? With just a jade bracelet and a map?

"Could it be that the mystery lies in this map?" Xia Sizhu thought about it for a moment before fixing her eyes on the map.

"No matter what secrets these two things hold, this is the only thing your mother left you. You have to keep it well!"

These two items looked very ordinary, but there were definitely some big articles in them. As for the secret here, it was up to Xia Sizhu to solve it herself.

"Hey!" This jade bracelet seems to have been specially crafted for me; its size is just right! " Xia Sizhu had just put on the jade bracelet and tested its size.

"Come and let This Dowager see!" When the empress dowager heard this, she leaned over and Xia Sizhu extended her hand towards her.

"It is indeed just right!" Her Majesty looked at her and said in surprise.

"It seems like you and this jade bracelet are fated. Little Zhu, take a look at that place on the map when you are free. Do you want me to send someone to give it to you?"

After looking through the bracelet, the Empress Dowager thought of the map again. She reckoned that the secret was right here, something that could help little girl Zhu a little bit.

This map should be a treasure map.

"Empress Dowager Xie, please remind me that I'll go take a look. There's no need for manpower. First of all, I don't even know what's at the end of the map."

Let's not make such a big fuss, what if there was nothing at all? Everything would just be for nothing.

Secondly, since mother left this map for me, there shouldn't be any danger. It's convenient and safe for me to be alone, so it might not be good if there's more people. "

Relying on her own skill, she could go by herself. If there were too many people, she would have to take care of that group of people.

"This Dowager knows that you will be in trouble if there are too many people. This Dowager can agree not to let you bring anyone.

But there's someone you have to keep with you so I can rest easy. "

The empress dowager was intelligent, and Xia Sizhu had not deliberately concealed her thoughts, so the empress dowager could easily guess.

"Shaxin, come out." Her Majesty called to the air.

A black shadow silently appeared in front of Xia Sizhu.

The woman known as Sha Xin had a cute, innocent face.

His entire body was very cold, almost nothing.

Xia Si Zhu looked at Sha Xin and frowned. Just now, she felt a slight fluctuation in the air as Sha Xin appeared in front of her. It seemed she was an expert.

"This is the best assassin and dark guard that This Dowager has trained for you. From now on, she will follow you. This way, This Dowager won't have to worry no matter where you go."

She already knew that she could not protect the little girl Zhu Zhu at any time and place.

She had sent people to train the all-powerful hidden guards, from cooking and cleaning the rooms, to wait upon the mistress and kill people, she had also sent people to teach her.

Out of the 1000 people that had been eliminated, only she was left. Those that had been eliminated had all been killed.
